Redshoe .. you can get the USPS one, I KNOW you can
you were verrry close

*more hints
~LOOK at the puzzle .. what do you notice about it .. say stuff outloud about what you SEE
~There is a name (first and last) as well as city and state
~common first name, common city

Here is the prisoner riddles answer:

The prisoners assign a leader. They decide on the following protocol:

For a non-leader: the first time you arrive at the room when the light is
off - switch it on; In all other cases - do nothing
For the leader: each time you arrive at the room and the light is on -
switch it off, and add one to your counting

When the leader arrives at the room and reached 99 in his counting - he
tells the guard, and they go free.

100 prisoners are locked up in prison. Each prisoner in his own cell. They cannot communicate with each other, except for the one afternoon when they all arrived in prison.

Every day, the warden picks one prisoner at random and brings him to a
room with a lightbulb and a lightswitch. The lightbulb is in whatever
state it was left the day before. The prisoner can now choose from 3
things:
1) he leaves things as it is
2) he toggles the lightswitch
3) he states that all 100 prisoners have been in this room at least
once.

After option 1 or 2, the prisoner is brought back to his cell. If the
prisoner decided to go for option 3, but he is wrong, they are all
executed. If he is right, they all go free.

Given that the prisoners are aware of this evil game that the warden is
going to play with them, what is the strategy they should decide on the
day they arrived in prison, when they could still talk to each other?
Assume the prisoners know the bulb is initially at the off position.

Note: random means random. It may happen that the same prisoner is
chosen 2, 3, or more days in a row.

Day 1, decide on one prisoner to be the record keeper.....

When a prisoner comes into the room, if the light is OFF and he has never switched the light on before, he switches it on.

Whenever the record keepign prisoner comes into a lit room, he flips it off and adds to his mental count.

When he has flicked the switch off his 99th time, he knows they have all been in the room

Willysbirthday - hmm that would work also !

Just so redshoe won't kick me in the hinney I'll give the answer to the USPS riddle

Remember it looked like this:
WOOD
MASS

The letter was delivered to
Mark Underwood in Andover Massachusetts

The riddle was a visual one
There is a noticeable 'mark' UNDER the word WOOD .. AND-OVER the MASS (which everyone from the US knows stands for the state of Massachusetts)

Like I said, there was only one person I showed this puzzle to who figured it out and I had to give him clues
Two others came CLOSE with the name 'Line Underwood .. Andover Massachusetts

You can win some free beer at the bar with this one lol
